Original correspondence of the Ordnance Office, which, except for a small section of miscellaneous letters, is almost entirely of nineteenth century date. The series also contains a small amount of War Office correspondence after the dissolution of the Ordnance Office in 1855 and the proceedings of the Royal Military Canal Commissioners.

There are, in the reading rooms at The National Archives, Kew, indexes to services of officers; services of non-commissioned officers and men; inventors who submitted inventions to the Ordnance Office down to the year 1855; and to in-letters, by subject.
